I am not necessarily opposed to the addition of a
simple/non-namespaced relation, but it still seems like it should be
necessary to have some the relationship clearly articulated enough to
delineate between "hub" (or whatever relation name that is used) and
the existing "monitor" relation. A developer (like me) should be able
to make an informed selection between the two for other notification
formats.
